If your toilet overflows every time you flush, it means the trapway is partially or fully blocked, preventing flush water from exiting down the drain pipe. To stop this from happening, stop flushing immediately, turn off the water supply valve behind the toilet, and allow the water level in the bowl to drop. Grab a heavy-duty flange plunger and clear the obstruction before attempting any further flushes. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves and eye protection to prevent splashing contaminated wastewater. Verification: Test the cleared drain with a bucket flush to ensure waste flows away smoothly.
